I worked in a job sharing role part time until I went off on maternity leave in December. I am due to go back in 3 weeks.
There are two jobs at my level at work.
One is the role which I share with my job share partner (so taken together it is a full time role IYSWIM) and the other is done by just one person full time.
We have been told that there is a chance that someone will be made redundant. If I was to be made redundant whilst on maternity leave how would any pay be calculated?
- We do not have contractual maternity pay only statutory. Is my redundancy pay based on my pre-maternity pay level pro-rated for the part time role ?
- What happens about holiday? I am due about another 8/9 days holiday for the year?
- I was going to go back to work when my daughter was 34 weeks old. As I am entitled to SMP for longer than that but am choosing to go back to assist my job share partner (who's "covered" me during mat leave) can I continue to claim SMP for the full 39 weeks which I could have if they make me redundant before that 39 weeks is up?
- Contractually I have to give 3 months notice to leave my job. Do they have to pay me for the notice period ? Is this on top of any redundancy pay?
Many thanks
